What features would you like to see in Pixelmator Pro?

Please can you overwork the rotation slider of the cropping tool? It is terribly insensitive and it is hardly possible to adjust the angle precisely. Maybe a "logarithmic behaviour" could help. In addition, the grid is only displayed when the cropping window is resized. It would be helpful if the grid was also visible when adjusting the angle.

It would be very helpful too, if you could set outlines or corner points to an object (e.g. the edges of a distorted photographed sheet of paper) and these corner points could be then dragged to the edge of the work surface to rectify it automatically.

The rotation slider offers a quick way to rotate the image. It isn't the best rotation option if you're looking for precision. For more precise angle adjusting, it's more effective to either enter the desired angle manually into the Angle field or use the buttons at each side of the rotation slider to rotate by 1-degree increments.

This way, edge aligning is a horrible mess...

Please take my suggestion for improvement and make the slider more precise, so that you can align slanted or scanned images comfortably.

Hi Andreas.
Have you tried to rotate from the crop frame corner instead? You can set it in tenths of a degree increments.

This way it works, and the grid is visible too. Thank you very much for this hint! :blush:
